Mrs. Martha A. Lamb, formerly of Maumee City, Ohio, has been elected a member of the New \ork Historical Society, being the first lady ever admitted to that body.

The Massachusetts House of Representatives has passed the bill to pay the Legislature $750 each for the regular an, nual session, with mileage.

aires. John McDonough's large bequest, the papers say, was absorbed by the lawyers the greater portion of that left by John D. Fink was stolen by somebody and lastly, that continual bone of contention and litigation, the Girod bequest of $100,000, has dwindled to $30,000.

THE SEASON OF ROUSE CLEANING.— Spring time is the season for house cleaning. Then, more than at all other times, the dwelling apartments are scrubbed and scoured, whitewashed and painted our rooms are renovated, renewed and improved all the holes and pieces of plastering are patched up, and we rejoice to begin another year in a home, made new.

It is like taking, after a season of hard, dusty, sweating work, a thorough bath, and then putting on a suit of clean garments fresh from the laundry we feel that we have a "new lease of life."

The renovation of the dwelling pays a dozen times its cost in the good moral effect it has on the occupants, to say nothing of the benefit in a directly hygenic point of view, which is immense.

THE COURTS.—The Civil Circuit Court, Hon. C. Y. Patterson presiding, convened this A. M. pursuant to previous adjournment, but after the usual routine of calling the docket, etc., was gone through with, the Court adjourned.

The Criminal Court, Hon. T. B. Long presiding, is not in session to-day. The Grand Jury adjourned yesterday, after havingreturned four or five indictments.

The Mayor's Court, Hon. G. F. Cookerly, presiding, decided upon the merits of the case of the City vs. Elijah Ward, who was "jugged" last evening by Deputy Marshall Wolf on a charge of drunkenness. This morning His Honor fined and costed him in the sum of $7.50, which he paid and departed, a sadder, wiser and poorer man.

ARRESTED CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY.—A lad, aged about 13 years, named Thomas Gould, was arrested by Officer Wolf this morning, charged with the larceny of a watch from one William Wilds, a workman at the new artesian well, under the following circumstances as well as we can learn them It appears that the workmen were busily engaged and that there were several boys near at hand, and that this boy Gould was observed by Johnny Carey to take up a position near the vest of Wm. Wilds the pocket of which contained his watch and from which he soon dextrously extracted the "shiner" and hurriedly attempted to "go and see his parents," but was followed and captured by one Johny Blaine, who took him in "on the fly" and found the watch in his possession. The boy was detained until Deputy Marshal Wolf arrived and placed him under arrest and in the Station House for safe keeping until this afternoon when aprelimiary examination will be had, when it is to be hoped the facts of the case will be elicited and justice be done.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.—Suggestions. It has been suggested to us by several of our most influential business men, tliata committee be appointed, or that the City Council make some arrangements by which persons in the various neighboring counties of Indiana and Illinois, tributary to this city be corresponded with, with a view of having them take measures to secure and forward specimens of coal and all kinds of minerals and in short everything that will tend to place our mineral and other resources in a convenient and favorable light for the inspection of the members of the Association for the Advancemen of Sience, when they come to the city on their excursion from Indianapolis the coming August. Whether the matter is taken in hand by the Council or a committee, it has been suggested that one person be appointed to correspond with and notify people throughout the adjacent country of the objects and advantages of the movement to accrue to the neighborhood where the best resources are to be found. The person should collect all the facts and receive the articles aud display them in a room, to be selected by the committtee or council acting on the matterr Let the American aud Adams Express Companies be solicited to carry the articles free of charge, aud thus contribute with their characteristic liberality to a worthy enterprise—aud let some public spirited gentleman of means or some corporation like the Terre Haute House, noted for liberality, donate a room iu which to display the articles for the inspection of the members of the association at the appointed time.

These suggestions strike us as good ones and we think them well worthy of some decisive action at once.

FOUND.—A few days since a young lady of this city found in a yard in front of her residence, a picture of a fine lookin"- young man, whose whole attitude, as represented iu his artistic pose, is one of piety and Christian resignation. The crossing

among

his hands and the beseech

ing appearance of his upturned eyes would melt the heart of any one. His face is of that peculiar classic style which has made Senator Anthouy and -Hon. D. W. V^orhees so much admired, and gained for them so many friends

the fair sex. His hair is not so

red as Dau's, nor does he border ou the "rosebud style" like the Hon. Senator from

Rhode'lsland,

but possesses points

of resemblance to be classed in the same style.— Vlncennes Sun.

THIS story is told of old Judge Vose, of New Hampshire, in his last days, when almost lifeless through paralysis A neighbor came iu who was understood to have seen better days, but had been reduced by improvidence or bad habits to rather a dilapidated condition. He, however, appeared this day, quite unexpectedly, in quite a tidy suit of black. The son remarked the change, and inquired if he was in mourning for any one "No," was the reply, "only mourning'for my sins." The Judge raised up at the moment, and but for a moment, and with his former droll look, and his latter broken articulation, asked: "Lost any of 'em?"

Direct Telegraphic Communication with Paris Stopped.

The Result of the Election.

The Entire Republican Ticket, with the Exception of Governor, Elected.

&c., &c.9 &c.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Ilaute Gazette.] VERSAILLES, April G.—The insurgents still hold forts D'Issy and Vanyres, and keep up a resolute fire on the position held by the Government troops at Chatillion.

An attack was made by the insurgents last night on the bridge of Seyres, but was repulsed by a detachment of the Versailles army.

A disturbance is reported to have occurred atLemoges, an important town in the department of Haute Marne.

PARIS, April 6.—The artillery duel between the Federalists and Assemblists continues. Insignificant skirmishes have occurred, and an attack is expected to-night.

A monster conciliatory meeting will be held to-morrow. The Avener National says no understanding has yet been come to between the Paris Deputies.

It is reported that an infantry engagement occurred at C'hattellon, but the result is unknown.

The centre of action has been removed from Fort Montrange. The left of the Federalists is at Hautes Bruyeils.

Prices of provisions are rising in Paris. LONDON, April G.—Direct communication by telegraph with Paris has ceased, the wires having been cut by the insurgents. The city is again isolated. All dispatches have to be sent from points outside the lines of the National Guards.

HARTFORD, April 7.—The Evening Post of this city announces the election of the entire Republican ticket, with the exception of Governor. The vote in detail, as given in the large towns, shows that English has generally run ahead of his ticket and Jewell behind, probably on account of the capital question.

The Republican ticket, except Governor, has probably more than one hundred majority.

PROVIDENCE, April 7.—Complete returns of the State election give Padleford, Republican, for Governor, 8,819 Steere, Democrat, 5,345. The Senate stands 2G Republicans to 9 Democrats, and in one district no choice. The House stands 51 Republicans to 13 Democrats, and no choice in eight districts.

NEW YORK, April 7.—A Washington correspondent telegraphs: When the San Domingo message and report were submitted to the Senate Wednesday there was a disposition on the part of the Sumner-Schurz party to debate it. The President's friends, on the other hand were anxious to have it printed and laid on the table without debate. Sumner says he never saw so bold an attempt to cutoff debate in the Senate since 1852, when he insisted upon discussing the slavery question. It was finally agreed to allow a speech on each side, but there will be a struggle on the part of Sumner and his friends to have a regular discussion upon the subject and report.

A special telegram from Havana shows brisk fighting has been going on in San Domingo, between the insurgent forces under Luperon and abral and the army of Baez, in which the former were defeated in two engagements. The loss in the killed and wounded and prisoners does not appear to be large. The insurgents probably lost all their cavalry, from the fact that fourteen horses were captured in one fight, jfnd fifteen in another. Ten general officers, and about eight hundred men composed the forces engaged in the first encounter. No estimate can be formed from the result of these two battles of the probability of peace for the future.

General Vaslertine Rerse also claims a victory over Organdon, on the line of Neyba.

Cabral's friends in St. Thomas acknowledge he was defeated, but say only his vanguard was beaten. The general opinion, however, is that Baez's forces had the advantage in all encounters.

OSGBESSIOXAIi SUMMARY.

WASHINGTON, April 6. Senate.

Mr Davis, of Kentucky, obtaining leave to make a personal explanation, had read an extract from the New York Herald of last Friday, describing a scene in the Senate Chamber the previous day, between Davis and Butler. Mr. Davis also had read an extract from Butler's speech in the House on Tuesday, rcferring to the Ku Kluxof Kentucky, exhibiting impotent rage in the Senate, with the whining and piping voice of an imbecile and unhonored old age. Mr. Davis then narrated the story of Butlers seizing the silver plate and furniture of a man named Brothers, in New Orleans, and his inability to obtain the appointment of a select committee to investigate the complaint against Butler, and then gave hi* own account of the scene between himself and Butler last Thursday, and concluded as follows. It was not my intention to bring before the Senate any controversy with a universally recognized blackguard, coward and scoundrel of the United States, who himself, does not dissent from the general judgment against

The Vice President then stated that he was not in the chair at the time of the occurrence referred to, but it was due to the Senator'Who did occupy the chair at the time, to state that the words spoken

tot

in publij prints, and Jo some extent

corroborated by the Senator from Kentucky, were not sufficiently audible to be heard by the chair.

Mr. Davis. That is true. The Vice President added, undoubtedly the Senator who occupied the chair at the time would have arrested proceedings, if they had been heard by him.

The Senate then proceeded to discuss the resolution reported from the Committee on Privileges and Elections, admitting to seats Goldthwaite, of Alabama, and Blodgett, of Georgia.

Upon a point raised by Mr. Thurman, the Vice President decided that the question could be taken separately on each case. After an argument by Mr. Thurman in behalf of the validity of Goldthwaite's claim and to show that Blodgett's election was spurious, the subject was laid aside and the Senate took up the concurrent resolution for a joint special investigating committee on the South.

Mr. Frelinghuysen then addressed the Senate at length, eulogizing the reconstruction policy of Congress as most wise and beneficient and inspired by a mercy without parallel, under a government which at the end of the war by right could have confiscated the property of rebels and bestowed it all on former slaves, by whose unrequited toil that property had been amassed. Discussing the recent constitutional amendments in the light of their true meaning and proper reconstruction, he held that the heresy of State rights had been completely buried by those amendments that as amended the constitution confers not only national, but State citizenship, on all persons born or naturalized in our limits that a citizen mechanic ot Massachusetts could pursue his trade in the streets of Charleston, and if necessary, call upon the whole power of the Government to protect him. Therefore, it was time the cry of carpet-baggers, adventurers aud scalawags should cease. Arguing ou the right of Congress under the 14th Amendment to establish a criminal code in all the States for protection of citizens and repression of lawlessness, he remarked he did not propose that his power should be exercised now, but urged the imperative and immediate necessity of stringent legislation to arrest the evils complained of.

Mr. Pratt, in a general review of the political condition, discussed the constitutional power of Congress under the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to arrest and punish perpetrators of outrages. He held the practical refusal of State authorities to secure equal protection of the laws to black and white alike, devolved on Congress that duty, and would justify coercive legislation of general application. The plan which had been proposed, of levying damages on the localities in which Ku Klux outrages were committed, would, he thought, prove efficient.

At 4 o'clock the Senate went into executive session, aud soon after adjourned. House.

Mr. Dawes suggested that after the vote to-day, the House adjourn till Monday.

Mr. Hay hoped there would not be final adjournment, until the House shall have acted on the appointment bill introduced by Mr. Mercur, so that Western States might have their increase of representation.

Mr. Ward supposed all gentlemen were anxious to adjourn the session at the earliest possible time. He assumed that there were but two measures which the majorily of both Houses desired to act ou fiirst, the pendiug bill, and second, the deficiency appropriation bill. He therefore suggested that the deficiency bill be taken up directly after the pending bill shall be voted on.

Mr. Eldridge did not believe that the disturbance in the South were such as had been described. Certainly none that warranted the passage of this extraordinary measure. The people everywhere were crying for peace, but he believed this bill was a declaration of war.

Mr. Voorhees said, during his absence from Washington, he found peace aad quiet among the people, but on his return he realized a contrary feeling in Congress. The excitement was all here. Looking over the South, it was discovered that nine-tenths of the clamor about outrages was false, and raised for base political and Radical purposes.

Mr. DeLarge (colored,) of South Carolina, said, he represented a district in which there had been no outrages since resonstruction. He was free to admit that both parties were responsible for the present disturbed condition of affairs in Soutli Carolina. He was thoroughly convinced that some legislation is necessary, but this would not be sufficient unless his Republican friends removed political disabilites, for they could not expect those now resting under them to exert themselves to preserve public peace, when they have nothing to hope for in the future.

Mr.

Farnsworth

„. -,'* *,'•"'

moved to strike out

the proviso authorizing the President to direct voluntary enlistments of any militia in the United States alien, or any part authorized to be employed. He objected to enlarging the regular army which the bill would do.

Mr. Poland said he believed if any State denied equal protection of law, or if a State passed laws to protect every citizen in the right guaranteed by the Constitution, or if any persons interfered to prevent such equal protection, then they had the right to make the latter act an offense against the United States.

The House agreed to the motion of Mr. Farnsworth, thus striking out the proviso above referred to—yeas 112, nays 87.

Various amendments were offered, when Mr. Shellabarger moved the previous question, which was seconded, and the main question ordered to be put.

Mr. Shellabarger then proceeded to close the debate. He said it was a fact that there were bands of conspirators in one-third of the States, trained veteran soldiers, treasonable and implacable. Their number was unkhown perhaps three hundred thousand their victims were enumerated by thousands. The other fact was, these conspirators were in the interest and service of the Democratic party. These two statements were made on one side, while they were totally denied on the other. Putting these statements in another way the dual allegation was, that in the South one-half the people undertake to overthrow the rights of the other half, and to this end were making satisfactory progress, under cover of night

and

masks, by hanging,

burning and murdering and while these things were rife in the South, gentlemen in the North were engaged denying or palliating crime aud violence against human rights, and civil and religious liberty. He should not enter into evidence to show that such illegal combinations exist, and such crimes are committed. He had only to glance at the ghastly array of witnesses, and this would exclude doubt as to conspiracy and the immense number of victims, to say nothing of the designs of conspirators further than they are to overthrow equality of law, and to disfranchise a race. In all cases of murder and violence, the attacking party belonged to one party, and the victims to the other. This conspiracy was incipient rebellion. He then pro* posed to argue that the Democrats in their last National Convention declared in favor of overthrowing the reconstruction acts, having nominated for the Vice Presidency the author of the Broadhead iirS***I -5

letter. The author of this letter was now a leader of their party in the Senate, holding that all the new amendments to the Constitution were inoperative, never having been adopted. 1,702,000 Democrats in this country voted for the platform and the candidate. The conspirators at the South were moving in the same direction, for the overthrow of all the rights conferred on an enfranchised race, aud destruction of laws for their their protection. He consumed his hour in showing necessity for the passage of the bill.

Mr. Cox wished to offer a substitute for the bill, proposing general amnesty as an act of grace against this act of force. He wanted a square vote on it, but did not obtain unanimous consent to offer it.

Mr. Ambler moved to strike out from the bill the power given to the President of the United States, when in his judgment public safety required it, to suspend the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus, to the end that such rebellion may be overthrown, &e.

The amendment wasdisagreed to—yeas 101, nays 105. The Speaker awarded the floor to the gentleman from Massachusetts, Dawes, who voted with the legitimate majority, in order that he might move to reconsider and lay on the table.

The motion to reconsider the vote by which the amendment was rejected— resulted yeas 113, nays 94.

Mr. Hoi man moved to strike out the third section of the bill, which was disagreed to.

Several amendments were then made to the bill, which was passed under the operation of the previous question, yeas 118, nays 91.

Applause followed the announcement of the passage of the bill, from the Republican side.

The Speaker reminded the gentlemen that that was a bad example to set to the galleries.

Several bills were introduced, including one by Mr. Halsey, for relief of sureties of Major Wm. W. Shermau.

The House at 6:15 adjourned till Monday next.

HAIR VI0-0B.

AYER'S

A I I O

For the Renovation of the Hair! The (Treat Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If -wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
